Desktopography 2013 by Craig Minchington

Designers and developers spend about 90% of their waking life in front of a computer so the most appealing genre for a wallpaper would be one that has beautiful design mixed with the all important aspect of outdoors.

This is my Desktopography piece for the 2013 exhibition and is called ‘Extrasolar' which you download here. This was a collaboration with Mike Harrison a.k.a. Destill. The concept is based around an extrasolar planet, which is out of the solar system, yet desktopography has still found it’s way there in the form of a part buried logo. It was an honour to be asked by Pete to get involved this year and great to work with Mike on the piece. Go take a look at the rest of the amazing exhibition over at http://www.desktopography.net/

I have seen my fair share of amazing typography projects and it's always incredible to see the depth of work behind the creation of a font. Mateusz Machalski illustrates that extremely well with his project title Tupper_PRO. With images showcasing all steps of the process, Tupper_PRO is a great reference to everyone out there trying to learn or improve their typography skills.
This project was created by Mateusz Machalski the CEO of BO­RUTTA, a cre­ative pro­duc­tion studio spe­cia­lizing in ma­king still and mo­tion campaigns.
